Hello, lovelies!
How are you doing? Back in March, I posted my Sephora Wishlist and told you my uncle was going to the U.S. in April so I was going to ask him to bring me all these goodies from Sephora.
Turns out, he got almost everything on the list, except for the YSL lipstick (the colour I wanted was sold out 😥 )! So here’s my little haul:
.
Tartelette in Bloom, Tarte
I’d been wanting to try Tarte for years and now I finally got to – and their eyeshadows, nonetheless! I thought this palette was stunning ever since I first laid eyes on it. And then Fleur (from the blog and youtube channel Fleur De Force) went to the U.S., bought it and wore looks from it in a couple of videos and I was even more obsessed with the palette. It’s right up my alley, I’m sure I will wear every single eyeshadow until I hit pan 🙂
I love the packaging: it’s strong, has that huge mirror, it’s quite lightweight and not very big. I can’t wait to be able to wear eyeshadows again so I can experiment with these!
.
Shade + Light Palette, Kat Von D
I just had to try this palette! Pretty much every blogger and youtuber loves it and keeps raving about it so I had to give it a go. I’m not much of a contour fan (the whole Kardashian look is too much, in my opinion), but I think you can also achieve a softer look with this palette. And I can always use the powders for eyeshadows 😉
Again, I love the packaging. It’s Kat Von D so it had to be unique. I like that it’s quite compact but also quite lightweight. And I love the mirror!
.
Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in ‘Lolita’, Kat Von D
I feel like Lolita‘s the most wanted lippie in the world 😛 And I totally get why, the colour is absolutely stunning (I love it even more in person than I did in pictures / videos).
I’m not crazy about the packaging, though – I find the wand too big and the design a tad too much. I still haven’t tried it on my lips but I loved how it applied on my hand. I will report back on it 🙂
.
Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in ‘Bahama’, Nars
Though I had been wanting to try something by Nars since forever ago, I asked my uncle to bring me this one because Anna (from Vivianna Does Makeup) raved about it in a video and it looked stunning on her.
I love the packaging and the colour, it’s a true Your Lips But Better. Again, I’ve only tried it on my hand but I love how it applied – so smoothly and evenly!
.

And here’s everything!

Do you guys own any of these products? I would love to know your thoughts on them 🙂
Love,
Alice ♥
Wow you’re one lucky girl with a handy uncle! 😀 Love the stuff you got! I am dying to try the Kat von D liquid lipsticks and can’t wait to hear what you think about them!

Thank you so much, dear 🙂 I know, I really am. I love Lolita’s colour but I’m not crazy about how it looks on my lips (maybe they’re just too dry, I don’t know
). I’m loving the Nars lip pencil, though. Totally recommend that one 🙂
Thanks for reading! Xx

Great choices – I also have the KVD contour kit & Lolita, they are two of my favourite makeup items at the moment. I’m very jealous of the In Bloom palette – I got the more travel friendly Tease palette when my parents went to Vegas a few months ago, but I really want In Bloom now too!

Thanks, dear 🙂 I love the In Bloom palette, it’s right up my street. I love every single eyeshadow, the finishes, formula and scent! I totally recommend it 🙂 I’m trying (desperately) to love Lolita since I’m obsessed with the colour, I’m just not a big fan of how it looks on my lips. The contour palette is amazing, I love it as well. It looks so natural and it’s so easy to work with!
Thanks for reading, dear 🙂 xx

I have a love/hate relationship with liquid lipsticks, but I do like how Lolita looks on me.

So do I, actually 😂 I love Lolita’s colour but I find that it settles into all the fine lines on my lips. Is it just me? Thanks for reading 🙂 xx

That tends to happen with me for most mattes. The worst is when they’re a light color, which is why I prefer darker ones. I’m sure there’s a lip primer that can help with that.

I’d only tried one matte lipstick before and I hated it so I was a bit scared to try these ones. I’m so happy with the Nars one, it looks perfect on the lips! I must admit, I’ve been wearing non-stop 🙂 I also prefer the darker ones, they’re more ‘me’ and I believe they suit most people better than lighter ones. I have to search for a lip primer 😉 xx

Fab haul! I love that Tarte palette, it is so gorgeous! One of my favourites! The Nars lip pencils are so nice, I need that shade! The Kat Von D lipstick looks amazing too!

Thanks, dear! 🙂 that palette is life! I love every single colour, the pigmentation and the scent, it’s perfection on a palette ❤️ the Nars lip pencil was a lovely surprise. I wasn’t expecting to love it as much as I do, since I don’t usually like matte lipsticks. That one is so creamy and it doesn’t leave my lips dry at all! The Lolita is simply stunning, perfect shade and perfect formula ❤️ Thanks for reading 🙂 xx

No bother! Definitely, it really is a perfect palette! Yes the Nars Lip pencils are super comfortable to wear! I love them! Annoying how Kat Von D is only sold in Sephora since there isn’t any in the UK cause the lipsticks look amazing and Lolita looks so gorgeous!

The Sephora’s in Europe don’t sell Kat Von D either so we feel your pain 😂 I couldn’t be happier with the products I got, I feel like they all met my expectations (the Nars lip pencil was even better than I expected), and that’s always great 🙂 xx

I’m with you on that! And they should bring Tarte as well. Is it easy to get in the UK?

We get Tarte online on QVC so its not the most accessible but at least we can access it to some extent! I think they also ship worldwide via their website although I can imagine high shipping/custom fees!

😳 I don’t even want to check it out, the shipping fees are going to be out of this world! I think I’ll wait – I really want to visit the US at some point in my life. Maybe by the time I go there, they already sell it in Europe 😂
